President elections are protected With Jammers

Recently Ukrainians had to choose a president to lead them to the bright future and yet again some candidates tried to use any possibility to gain more votes, even illegal ones . In addition to “standard” methods of falsification that were used during previous elections, improved ways of interfering into voting process took place.

Everyone knows that the most widely spread method of falsification at any elections is bribing of voters. The thing is that this method has serious disadvantage, voter may take money and still vote for another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to spy out the voter’s choice until now. New technologies allowed a person to get absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy tools. So several political parties decided to place small secret wireless cams on the bribed voters to receive real time video from voting cabin and so got the chance to check whether the voter made the “right” decision. Also for these purposes mobile phones that can be used for video calls were used.

Knowing all this, some parties equipped their representatives with special phone jammer to jam 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent competitors from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to block any mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. This universal jammer not only jams all these frequencies but also is highly compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.

As you see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for phonejammers is growing not only among common people but also among different government officials and organizations. In January 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phonejammers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
